Christmas Card Designs – new deadline!

There were a few sad children today, as they had either forgotten their Christmas design or hadn’t managed to finish it in time.  For this reason, I have pushed back the collection date to Tuesday 11th October.
For every product sold the PTA gets a percentage paid to them.  The PTA supports the school by raising money to enhance, enrich and improve learning experiences and opportunities for the children.  We are therefore extremely grateful for your support with this project.  If your child needs a design sheet there is still time!
We used this company last year and the quality of the products was extremely high, making ideal Christmas Gifts for friends and relatives.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me should you need any further information.
Kind regards,Mrs Greening

Need labels? PTA fundraiser!

Help us to win the battle with lost property by labelling your child’s belongings, and raise money for the PTA at the same time!

Remember to order using our unique school code of 6819 and you can help raise funds for the PTA!

Stikins are multipurpose name tags that can be used to label clothes and fabric items, shoes and bags, lunch boxes and water bottles, P.E. kits and stationery, and all kinds of other personal belongings. They stick on – no sewing or ironing required – so you can label everything in minutes and have been independently tested using the ISO6330 wash test procedure for 60 washes at 40 degrees; Stikins can be put through washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, and microwaves.

The labels can be ordered at https://www.stikins.co.uk/ and if you enter our unique school code, which is 6819, before you checkout your order you can help to raise valuable funds for our fabulous PTA!

Respect – Autumn Term 2022

Click for a larger .pdf version

The Christian Value we are particularly focusing on this half term is Respect.

We show respect by listening and cooperating with others, seeking to understand their point of view. Respect is treating others as we would wish to be treated ourselves.

This includes:

  • Listening to others’ speak
  • Using good manners
  • Being considerate of others’ feelings
  • Showing tolerance of others’ beliefs
  • Being thankful
  • Looking after our environment and community.

We were saddened to learn of the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.  As a mark of respect, we decided to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s life of service through art and poetry.

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”

– Philippians 2:3
 
It would be wonderful to see a large proportion of the children taking part in the home-school challenge. You can explore this value at home using the resource on the right.

P.T.A. We’d love to see you!

   

We are hoping to hold our next PTA meeting in Elvington School on 29th September 2022 at 6.00 pm.

The time has changed back to 6:00 pm due to PTA members availability.

Due to this, there will now be no childcare facilities.

We’d love to see some new faces and all are welcome. 

We’d like to build a plan for fundraising for the forthcoming year. The PTA team are very easy going and as a team there is no expectation of time commitment. We give as much or as little time as we have spare to help. Some of the amazing things that the PTA helped fund last year included the school iPads, the new school books, the David Attenborough Day and The S.T.A.R. Barn, theatre shows, Story tellers, Purple Pig visits, and so much more.

We’d love for you to join us…The PTA Team
